My car used to flash its lights and beep twice when i locked it and now for some reason it does that exact routine for when i unlock the vehicle. How do i reset this function on my 05 545i?

Mines Never Beeped....i got it second hand...and couldn't find it in the settings...?
Pre-LCI 2004 sports pack...

But, no alarm system either...is the beeping of the alarm?
I would like it to beep...(So people know that the car belongs to me as i walk up to it...

Anyone's thoughts?

when you lock it, it beeps and flashes once, and when you unlock it, it does it twice. Or viceversa, I don't remember.

However as the russian said, if a door is open it won't do it. Also, if you battery is low it won't do it either.

The instructions are in your owner's manual. A copy is available on-line https://5series.net/information/2005..._Manual_US.pdf
